I always had a soft spot for Jiang Yuyuan. Thanks for sharing these!

According to some source, Jiang Yuyuan now works for Zhejiang University. I need to find some interview videos to confirm

I can’t find any photoshoot of Cheng Fei. Looks like she doesn’t want to be photographed for photoshoots.

As a national hero of China , Liu Xuan (win Gold in Balance Beam at Olympic Sydney 2000) has appeared in a lot of magazine photoshoots, covers

After retiring from gymnastics, Liu Xuan (won Gold medal in Balance Beam at Olympic Sydney 2000) chose to become an actress/singer.

She has starred in many Hong Kong, Chinese television series (Grace Under Fire, Legend of Fuyao…) as well as some Chinese movies (Far From Home).

She also has released four music albums.


Liu Xuan’s also a business woman. She has established her own company, Rumi. As a company that produces slimming, nutritious food and advocates a healthy lifestyle, Rumi prioritizes on R&D to ensure her products’ quality and the business’ ecosystem are environmentally-friendly and made to last under Liu Xuan’s leadership.

Liu Xuan looks great. I really liked her in 2000.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Wait...she was in Legend of Fuyao???

 

[Iminhanoi]

Wait...she was in Legend of Fuyao???

Yes, she was. In Legend of Fuyao, Liu Xuan played Fei Yan, High immortal of Ancient Firmament, Lord of Huansheng Shrine. Granddaughter of Di Feitian.
Her main goal is to revive Di Feitian, by using Fuyao and her five-colored stone to bring upon chaos to the Five Continents.

 

[Bob]

wow she is a force! Brilliant achievements must be a very bright lady.

I often forget that Yang Yilin got bronze ALL-AROUND in 2008.

I always think of her as a bars specialist, but she was across all 4 that year.

And she would have won silver if Shawn didn't have the amanar
